The perfect home companion
Beautiful.We have had the Echo Dot for a few years now and I've been waiting for the Echo Show to be on sale.Oh boy! It's amazing for news, weather, Spotify. So many more things.It's used so much more than I thought it would be.We have this linked to our blink doorbell camera which gives added security, and makes it easier to ignore those salesmen.Music/audio quality is amazing. Really, I cannot fathom how they have this sound quality from such a small speaker. It's crisp with almost zero distortion at max level.By the way the max level is something else too.Overall.If you're on the fence, I would highly reccomend!

Is this better than previous gen echo 8?
I have the previous show 8 ( and 5) and a fairly integrated smart home. I used my previous echo 8 for both traditional and Smart Control.As a result of expanding security I wanted a second 8 in a different location. I thereforeTook the opportunity to purchase the latest versionFirst the size and look is similar to the previous version (camera position buttons and shape of back different) but I think it looks goodThe stereo separation is not great but good enough for background music. However The sound is surprisingly good for the price and acts well as a focus speaker in a room- I’m using mine with two stereo pairs of dots. POV it’s about time Alexa released stereo with centre channel capabilities, if this were available it would act as great centre speakerIt’s certainly big enough to show all of your favourite smart applications and vidsfunctionality is very close to the previous version, and the sound is slightly different but IMO neither better nor worseThings I don’t like so much is clock display choices is not as good as the 5 as the 8 (previous and new gen’s) don’t have the option to just show a simple large clock when on standbyA really annoying change is that both 8 gens have magnetic bases for attaching a stand or wall Mount but the shape is different so they areNot interchangeable- possibly only an annoyance if like me you are upgrading and want to use existing wall mount !Finally do I think it’s value for money? Yes, depending on what you want to use it for. The functionality is good when used as a smartHome controller and As a small monitor and general background speaker it functions wellAlso.I think it as good or better than the other well known smart assistants out there, however don’t buy at regular price as these like most other Alexa devices are frequently on offer- buy it then and it’s a steal.I would definitely recommend, but only if on offer
